In this book, renowned historian Martin Gilbert depicts the turning point of the conflict and the long, bloody road to the Axis surrender. Gilbert has created a detailed chronicle of the collapse of the Nazi empire: from the tank hell of Kursk and the Allied landings in Normandy to the raising of the flag over the Reichstag and the nuclear strikes on Japan. The author masterfully interweaves the generals' grand strategy with the tragedy of the Holocaust and the suffering of the camp prisoners, revealing the war not as a series of victories, but as a massive humanitarian catastrophe. How did the decisions made by the "Big Three" in Tehran and Yalta determine the political map of the modern world? What difficulties and risks did the Resistance movement face in the lead-up to the opening of the Second Front? What moral dilemmas faced the Allies when deciding to bomb Dresden? This book reveals the behind-the-scenes politics and the courage of those who brought the carnage to an end on all fronts.
